The great falling away continues. And accelerates in the process. Spiritual darkness is spreading widely and deepening wildly.

“Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fall from among the children of men” (Psalm 12:1).

Only by the Lord’s help will godliness and faithfulness continue in the earth.

I want to be godly and faithful in this present evil world. I don’t want to be among those ceasing and falling.

Help me, Lord! Help my wife and my children! Help my church! Help all your people!

“If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” (Psalm 11:3).

I believe even the righteous at times can “come to” and discover part of his foundation wasn’t what it should have been and has been destroyed.

A good life on a poor foundation is actually no good at all.

The solution isn’t to build poorly.

The solution is to rebuild on a good foundation. The good foundation, that is.

I find myself musing: “Is any part of my life right now on a foundation other than Jesus?”

It is too easy and natural for me to do good and live right in order to please myself. Doing something for recognition and praise is part of pleasing myself. And that’s only one part!

I wonder what kind of rebuilding I may need to do.
